the ides of march count as the mid march update
Mar. 15th, 2026 09:55 amchecking in, even though i haven't been very productive again...
- websites: still nada. was hoping to get stuff done yesterday but then i got distracted by other things, woe. maybe sometime this week? i have less going on.
- writing: has been middling. i mean i'm still writing my daily nonsense about my ocs, but not much in the way of new project stuff like i managed at the start of the month.
- gaming: i think i'm 18-20 hours into trails from zero? i'm near the end of the second chapter. since i picked up a new raid commitment in ff14 i've had less time during the week to play, so i've been aiming for weekends. hopefully i can make more progress in the coming week.
- i did also get pokémon leafgreen for switch out of nostalgia. i keep forgetting when the rival battles are and have been woefully underprepared each time. this is just going to be a now-and-then game; it's nice to pick up when i have no brain for anything else.
that's all the updates for now... i really hate this time of year, i feel so blah.
Performing some traffic maintenance today
Mar. 14th, 2026 01:04 pmHappy Saturday!
I'm going to be doing a little maintenance today. It will likely cause a tiny interruption of service (specifically for www.dreamwidth.org) on the order of 2-3 minutes while some settings propagate. If you're on a journal page, that should still work throughout!
If it doesn't work, the rollback plan is pretty quick, I'm just toggling a setting on how traffic gets to the site. I'll update this post if something goes wrong, but don't anticipate any interruption to be longer than 10 minutes even in a rollback situation.
trails from zero thoughts
Mar. 9th, 2026 11:33 ami'm a ways into chapter 2 of trails from zero, so here's some thoughts on the game so far.
( spoilers below )
right now i think my plan for the next couple months is as follows: trails from zero this month, trails to azure next month, and then a break to play clair obscur. i don't own the cold steel games yet (and i'm debating where i want to play them... i need to find out if there's save data carry-over) so i hope there's a sale by the time i get there. i really would like to focus on the trails series this year, because i've genuinely been having such a good time with it.
on a related note, i finally got my collector's edition box for trails in the sky 1st chapter (the remake of FC) and it's even lovelier than i expected. they even threw in an extra bracer emblem pin since it was so late. i'll definitely be looking out for the collector's edition of 2nd chapter when it releases later this year.
